Wangsimni Nurungji Whole Chicken

The Main Event.... 🍗 Nurungji Tongdak (Scorched Rice Chicken) The chicken is slow-roasted over firewood, giving it a beautiful smoky aroma. They stuff the rice inside the chicken and then press it down onto a hot stone plate with baking paper. This creates a thick, incredibly crispy scorched rice (nurungji) texture at the bottom that is the highlight of the meal! ​The Skin: Perfectly marinated, flavorful, and achieves a great crunch when pressed against the plate. ​The Meat: While well-seasoned, the chicken (except for the legs) was unfortunately quite dry. The stone plate seems to evaporate the moisture out quickly, so the dipping sauces are absolutely essential here. ​Variations: We tried several versions (Scallion, Cheese, etc.). The toppings change, but the core base of roasted chicken and stuffed rice remains the same. ​The Sides: 🍚 ​Jumeok-bap: Conveniently served already rolled! Sticky rice with a savory seaweed coating that pairs perfectly with the chicken. 🌽 ​Dol-pan Corn Cheese: A classic crowd-pleaser. Sweet corn and stretchy cheese on a sizzling plate! You can’t go wrong. 🍠 ​Butter Garlic Cassava Chips: Quite plain on their own. The sauce is served on the side. Good for a big group or as a drinking snack, but skip it if you're just here for the food. ​🍜 Ttukbaegi Ramyeon: A nostalgic, homey touch. The spicy, savory broth hits the spot and cuts through the richness of the chicken.

Very welcoming considering we don't speak any Korean. We used a translator and ordered some amazing rotisserie chicken. Would recommend if you're in the area. We got the regular and the corn cheese, as well as ramyun.

Wood fire roasted rotisserie chicken…was A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE!! The flavors are kept simple, the green onion and Corn cheese combination, not to mention the fabulous crispy rice at the bottom with the slightest garlic flavor. I encourage everyone to at least try once!!

We swang by on a very cold Wednesday night, and had such an amazing time! The nurungi seasoned whole chicken was out of this world, defs the highlight of our meal. Pairing this with some Ramyun/Beer and Soju completes the experience. Will definitely come back next trip to try the corn cheese chicken 😆

The food was really good! Service was quick, food came out fast. I recommend 누룽지 파 콘치즈닭!

Travelled all the way after seeing Doobys short for their chicken. We got half and half green onion with corn cheese and original with chilli. The toppings and sauces were really great but the actual chicken itself was underwhelming and a bit bland unfortunately. You really have to eat it with the toppings, but the crispy rice underneath was divine. The Service was also really friendly and helpful

Delicious chicken!! The staff were great. I recommend coming here.

We stopped in around 5pm on a Friday and the place was basically empty, to our surprise. We were promptly seated and got our table set up. The young man (maybe the owner?) who answered our questions about the menu was extremely kind and helpful—something you rarely experience when dining out in SK these days. After sampling the sauce, we ordered the nurungji fire cheesy chicken which was just out of this world! Juicy, falling off the bones, and soooo flavorful. The server described the sauce as being slightly hotter than Shin Ramyon and I thought that was spot on. The nurungji was a caramelized perfection and stayed hot throughout. It was easily one of the best meals we’ve had. Highly recommended and we can’t wait to visit again.
